Research

Genetics of reproductive systems and population genetics. Genome analysis using PCR-derived molecular markers for DNA fingerprinting, for mapping Mendelian genes and QTLs, and for marker-assisted breeding (MAB). Transcriptome analysis by mRNA profiling and NGS technologies, bioinformatics and gene expression studies by Real-Time qPCR. Analysis of genetic diversity in crop and livestock species by means of SNP haplotyping and SSR genotyping, and genetic traceability of food products and derivatives using mtDNA and cpDNA barcoding.
